>> It's also true that food has social value for Italians. One of those "offers you can't refuse" is pasta from your nonna.
Oh, that. Yes, it's true- all around the Mediterranean. We love our food :)
>> I'm fascinated that the men who were born here tend to have traditional views (e.g. your mom shouldn't remarry if dad dies) but when I think of the ones who stayed in Italy my first thought is "they look gay" and I mean that as a compliment not an insult.
Yes, I know what you mean. It's a whatsitcalled, a common trope, that second- and third-generation immigrants are a bit behind the times with traditional values compared to the people who actually stay behind. I don't know how true it is. I have some family who emigrated to the US, but I rarely get to see them anymore. And my folks Back Home are conservative enough anyway...
And I know what you mean about modern Italian men, also. They don't really do macho.
